Franklin Templeton's distributed asset value on blockchain has surpassed $2.5 billion, according to tracking data from RWA.xyz. The figure represents the total value of the asset management firm's tokenized offerings across multiple blockchain networks as of late July 2026.
The holdings mark a substantial expansion from $2.44 billion recorded just two weeks earlier on July 18, adding roughly $50 million in distributed value over that span. Franklin Templeton launched its blockchain division in 2023 and has built its on-chain presence through multiple tokenized products, including its flagship Benji Investments platform.
Benji Investments, the firm's dedicated blockchain application, has concentrated its deployment on BNB Chain, which accounts for 61.7 percent of the platform's total assets. The concentration reflects a deliberate strategy to build depth on a single high-throughput network rather than fragment liquidity across multiple chains. Franklin Templeton has also maintained exposure to other blockchains as part of its multichain approach to tokenized asset distribution.
The $2.5 billion figure encompasses all of Franklin Templeton's tokenized products and services accessible through blockchain infrastructure. The firm acquired digital asset custody and trading capability through its 2024 acquisition of a crypto-focused technology firm, expanding its technical capacity to serve institutional clients seeking on-chain exposure.
Franklin Templeton is one of the largest traditional asset managers to deploy significant capital into blockchain-based offerings. Its peers, including BlackRock and Fidelity, have launched their own tokenized products, but Franklin Templeton's $2.5 billion in distributed assets places it among the leading traditional institutions by this measure. The broader tokenized asset market has grown substantially since 2023, driven by regulatory clarity and institutional adoption of blockchain infrastructure for settlement and custody.
The weekly growth rate of roughly $25 million per week through mid-July, if sustained, would imply an annual expansion rate of approximately $1.3 billion. The tracker data contains only confirmed, verifiable on-chain holdings and does not include proposed or unreleased products under development at the firm.
